3 Aussie stocks for today's market
Rising rates, rising volatility, and rising geopolitical tensions. It's tough being an equity investor in today's market. But Australian investors have generally fared better than most. With a heavy skew towards resources and financials, both of which have outperformed the broader index in recent months, the ASX 300 has outperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 5%. In this episode, Patrick Poke speaks to WILSONS' John Lockton for his views on the banking, resources, and healthcare sectors in the wake of reporting season. He also outlines one important macro issue the market is overlooking and points to several Aussie stocks with significant upside.
